Jim Cornette's sure had an eventful weekend. First he got into an argument with Santino Marella and stormed out, and then later that same day he got his dick out because he saw a cardboard cutout of Vince Russo...

'Every week I go out there and every week you have me talk like Triple H circa 2000 and some arsehole then tells me I look like an elf...'

Walking out on the company on the night of TV is very unprofessional though (and it's not like Neville is the stature of a Steve Austin); even if you've had enough or something is going on in your personal life, at least someone like Wade Barrett gave his notice and saw out his time properly.

Some recent wrestling thoughts:

I didn't like Xavier Woods cheerily walking into HIAC like it was his birthday. If I re-watch an old HIAC it'll be funny to see people act like it's brutal, when I know Xavier basically skipped inside it, then slapped people about with his rainbow coloured kendo stick.

Bray Wyatt's act does seem silly but the Undertaker, Mankind, or the Brood must have seemed ridiculous to adults. I remember liking some Mankind promos when I was 10 or whatever -- probably some 10 year old today thinks Bray's promo was decent.

Talking of promos, I found Zayn's on Smackdown to be really bad. I was bored. It's like he was just some guy who'd wandered in to the ring for his first ever promo.

Along with the ratings (a 1.8 for RAW!) it would appear WWE now has a TV attendance problem for RAW AND SmackDown. According to the Wrestling Observer, half of the building was empty for RAW. So when they're talking to the camera, they're almost literally talking to nobody. It must be so weird to watch the show as a fan because you're effectively looking at an empty building, which I'm sure is partly why crowd noise has been terrible. Maybe it's just about time they started going back to smaller venues again.

Nia Jax has also been granted a leave of absence for personal reasons, though rumours suggest she did a Neville and walked out.

I was watching the international edit of RAW last night, and there was only 3 minutes worth of wrestling in 40 minutes. It went from the opening promo, to MizTV, to a Sasha/Fox match, to an Enzo promo. Most weeks its really good, but occasionally it can be absolute torture because its practically back-to-back promos for an hour until the 2 headline matches. SmackDown is different as they air the whole show and just remove the 40 minutes worth of adverts.
